In The Maserati Years by Maxim Biller (September 24, 2007), the protagonist goes through a nightly routine of waking up to go to the bathroom or to look for alcohol in the kitchen. Biller was born in Prague to Russian-Jewish parents. One of his novels, the Esra, attracted a lot of attention when it came out in the year 2003. The Masertai Years makes me feel melancholy after reading it. The protagonist always wants to get alcohol but can never get any which gives the story a sad quality. It seems like his goals are never achieved. The darkness also adds to the effect of sorrow. I did not understand the text messages that the protagonist keeps checking. It makes me feel that Biller tried to break up the story by adding them in.
In the Nawabdin Electrician by Daniyal Mueenuddin (August 27, 2007), displays a novel which centers around a character named Nawab who could not forgive a thief who tried to steal his motorcycle. The author, Mueenuddin, manages a farm in Khanpur, Pakistan. He formerly practiced as a lawyer in New York City. I think the story is about how technology interferes with human relationships, whether it is from the master to Nawab or from Nawab to the thief. Technology has always been a factor in their relationship
